Senator James Paterson has clashed with Senator Murray Watt over whether Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s decision to drive a Chinese-made electric vehicle posed a security risk to Australia.
Security experts have become increasingly vocal about the potential danger posed by Chinese-made EVs, and so called “connected vehicles” more broadly.
During Monday’s hearing of the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee, the issue was given particular focus after Senator Paterson raised the fact Mr Burke owned such a vehicle and demanded an explanation from Senator Watt given potential security concerns associated with the Home Affairs portfolio.

The Government are clueless over Vaccines now Chinese made cars but very fast with getting rid of Chinese made CCTV cameras. So how could you not make the same case or risk with Chinese made cars and even more so with tech that can listen to conversions in the car the perfect wire tap.
The minute Dutton becomes pm hopefully he will sack all those useless hopeless so called stupid ministers
In the 1950s labour was called the communist party they changed their name because no one would vote for them.USA will see Australia as a security risk and they will stop being our allie that's when we will be at risk.
Comrade Burke driving a Chinese E car ? Ha Ha Ha HA Ha ……………… of course he would . The communist party probably gave it to him for his support .
These vehicles are intelligence gathering units.
At some point they could have a basic AI program running and automatically target pedestrians or block main arterials by causing wrecks in the middle of bridges and tunnels.
Burke is corrupted by the Chinese and is elected by his Muslim community.
Labor has such hatred for all Australians and everything Australian.
Who really gives a stuff
Why is Murray Watt even there he’s just a parasitic grub?
talk about deafness to their own concerns
Murray watt running cover for a traitor
Watt's an insolent smart arse
Americans are not our friends – they always eat our lunch
Watt not looking so smug.
Any foreign vehicle is a security threat. Chinese American or south korean
Tesla cars do exactly the same thing.
How many nano tracking devices have been inserted into Billy Bunter's Dim Sims
and Chiko Rolls?
The Labor Party dance to China's tune.
To hell with Chinese crap when we did have the capacity to do this ourselves.
Keep asking those questions James Patterson!
Burke works for CCP
Waiting for this beurocrat to say that these vehicles are "safe and effective".
REALLY? Have they been endorsed by Bill Gates? 😂😂
Burke is one of the most morally corrupted Labor Ministers. Only look at his sympathy with terrorists, all to do with muslim votes in his electorate. .
Watt is a disgusting individual, never answers questions.Chinese loving grubby individual
I've never, in 70 years following politics, seen some many corrupt Labor Ministers in my time.
No one cares, Ridiculous
Well, we don’t make our own cars anymore??? If some stooge wants to buy a n electric car from china, that’s their issue. Mg made in china as well. All our clothes made in china, Kmart, made in china, have a look at any product in any home, and for sure as sh)y, it’s made in china. What, we all have to drive Toyota now?? I drive a Mahindra, and I love it. Stupid politicians
Does Watt ever reach operating temperature?
Storm in a bloody teacup.
Is the honourable Senator planning to fund production of Australian built EV's?
He’s a grub, and he needs to go with the rest of them
What they should do go see Zach car and check what’s been done to work to secure it and then you’ll catch him out lying a lot of them
